The Top Ten Most Popular Posts of 2012

As the year draws to a close, I thought it would be interesting to take a look back over 2012 and see which posts at Reasons for God garnered the most attention. If you missed any of these, or want to read them again, then here are the top ten most popular posts of 2012:

I believe this post is #1 on the list because it appeals to both Christians and nonChristians. It is also one of the more unexpected posts at the site, as it is primarily an honest admission of the faults of everyday Christians.

This post showcases the value of collaboration. Because of a partnership with Tom Gilson at Thinking Christian, Rick Schenker, Blake Anderson, and others at Ratio Christi, many bloggers involved with the Christian Apologetics Alliance, the Christian community offered a respectful and thoughtful response to the atheists’ Reason Rally. The book we wrote, True Reason, is still selling well, is highly ranked at Amazon.com, and is currently the #3 bestselling book published by Patheos.com.

One of the most hypocritical and counter-productive actions of the Reason Rally organizers was to deliberately invite the Westboro gang to attend their gathering. This post explains what that invitation revealed about the Reason Rally.

One of my greatest desires is that every church would have a well-trained, highly-visible, and very loving lay apologetics team. This post explains how pastors can lead by example, integrating apologetics into their sermons.

There is an all-too-common idea that ‘blind faith’ is really awesome and very much worth having. This article explains some of the dangers that come with blind faith. Instead, we should have a reasoned faith.
